to the Hall
of Justice.
    After all accusations were filed, the
suspects were officially accused and all the evidence revealed to the Hall. The
magistrate called for testimonies to be given by the defendants.
    “You all saw and heard. My husband has
been secretly surveilling me for the
past twenty years. Is anyone safe in this kingdom anymore?” Grumbled Dvora. “He
has never been a father to my daughters.”
    The magistrate
was forced to intervene. “Madame, may I remind you that it is you and not the king who is on trial
here today? Do you have anything to say in your defence regarding the crime
against the king?”
    She looked up
again. “Is it a crime to talk with your daughters? It is obvious who is the guilty
party here. The visual clearly shows it was Wutsam Tsupy who added the poison to my
husband’s morning meal juice. He acted alone.”
    The prosecutor interrupted her. “Madame,
the audial visual clearly reveals that you and your seven daughters were
conspiring to poison the king. The very poison that was found in the cup—is
the same exact poison you mentioned during your conspiring. I have no more
questions, Lord Magistrate.”
    After calling the seven sisters, each one
testifying that they had no recollection of ever talking with their mother about
killing their father. They denied being involved in any conspiracy.
        “I see what’s happening
here,” said the prosecuting counsellor to Dvora and her daughters. “You want
the food preparer to take all the blame. Well, let’s hear from him shall we?”
    Wutsam Tsupy took the witness box and told
his story. He admitted to adding the poison, but insisted he didn’t know it was
poison. He told the magistrate that Dvora had told him to secretly add the
mixture; that it was a special herb that would give her husband strength. Dvora
denied that and publicly denounced Wutsam as a liar and killer.    The sisters all shouted at him too
and the Hall of Justice was in an uproar. The defence counsellor for Dvora and
her sisters called for a mistrial. The magistrate, however, was determined to
stick to the evidence. There was no jury as there had been in Earth cultures,
and on some other planets.
    The magistrate had to make the final
decision based on facts and real evidence. The last one to testify was the king
himself; the one who had been the alleged victim.

 

    His testimony against Dvora
and her daughters was strong; the magistrate could not deny that they were
guilty. The magistrate released Wutsam Tsupy, but because of his involvement,
and not having the food tested first as always, he was banished to another galaxy.   Dvora and her daughters were all found
guilty, as was the sorceress, who had been practicing her sorcery illegally.
She was banished to the utmost planet called Ugoxuthia at the farthest end of the Twelve Galaxies Cluster to
the Kreapis Empire.   It was the most underdeveloped planet in
the Twelve Galaxies Cluster where criminals were often sent.   Since the Great Sorceress Caratrah Shadowfire ’s crime was against the king, she was
sentenced to slavery in the Xetronium Mines. Xetronium was an ore that fuelled
all of the planets in the Twelve Galaxies Cluster kingdom. Mining it caused
dust-like spores to fill the air. The constant breathing in of the spores
caused infections inside the body that slowly destroyed a person’s health. It
was a virtual death sentence, as after working in the mines for ten years, the
lungs are eaten away by the Xetronium dust that is inhaled. The trip on the
prisoner transporter could take a year and a half. Finally the magistrate
handed down the severest sentence of them all to Dvora and her daughters, who
stood their ground in defiance. Dvora was deemed the main instigator of the
plot who influenced her daughters to turn rogue against their stepfather, and
so she was to be banished from the kingdom of the Twelve Galaxies Cluster and
sent to the Yuhenia Star System. It was
considered the most
